Resumen
Background: Most older adults are considered fragile beings, part of the old
workforce that currently only reports expenses and no benefits, becoming
dependent people to carry out their activities; reality that is mainly reflected in
non-institutionalized older adults.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of the fragility syndrome and its
relationship with chronic musculoskeletal diseases in adults over 65 years of age
who attend the IESS Specialized Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center in the city
of Azogues.
Methodology: A quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out
on a sample of 220 older adults who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Fried's criteria were used to assess this syndrome, through a questionnaire duly
validated by the same author. The data were tabulated in the SPSS v. 21. For
the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics was used and for the associations,
the 2 x 2 analysis, considering the OR, the 95% CI and (p) with statistical
significance <0.05.
Results: The prevalence of frailty syndrome was 22.7%, the female sex
predominated 64.1%, ages between 65 - 74 years 76.8%, married civil status
60.5%, urban area 78.2% , lives with his family 55% and retired employment
58.2%; the most frequent osteomuscular disease is osteoarthritis 36.5%; there
are statistically significant differences between age and frailty (OR = 16.13; CI =
5.01 - 51.9; p = <0.05); and musculoskeletal disease and frailty (OR = 3.18; CI =
1.45 - 6.98; p <0.05).
Conclusions: The prevalence was 22.7% and there is a statistically significant
difference between age and frailty, likewise, between musculoskeletal diseases
and frailty.
